I've got a couple of years until I turn pro so I guess within that period hopefully I'll be able to get a little bit better.

I'd love to go out on a Saturday night with my friends and watch a movie, but that happens really like once a year or a couple of times.

I can't say I'm not nervous at all with media and doing speeches, but I'm getting used to it and better at it, hopefully.

Before, I was like 'Oh my God, I have to do this media, this media and this media,' but now I've learned these are stages you need to go through. If you play really good golf, you're going to get more media attention and more interest in you, and you'll get more confident handling it.

It's never easy playing 36 holes when you are concentrating so much for all the shots.

I've played such good golf, and it was hard coming up and it wasn't easy in any matches or any shots. It means a lot. I think hopefully it will mean a lot to New Zealand because I'm the next winner of the U.S. Amateur after Danny Lee.

Two weeks ago at the U.S. Amateur, my mom caddied, and that is kind of a different feeling, because she's your mom and you have to listen to her. It was really comfortable having my mom there, but it's also really relieving and comfortable to have someone that knows the course off their hat, really.
